Arc'teryx Fission SV

I bought a Fission SV for balmy Toronto winters, and it’s perfect for my needs. But I was disappointed when one of my pocket seams came apart after only one winter of use (it is a rather expensive jacket, after all). So I contacted Arteryx; fully expecting them to direct me to a local tailor for repairs. Arteryx instead declared that my issue was a manufacturing defect, and they offered me full replacement credit (that can be used for anything on their website).

I find that the Arcteryx sleeves are way too long on some of their parkas and the cut isn’t great. I tried on the Fission SV and old Therme at the outlet this past weekend and both are bulky and have ridiculous arm lengths.

Also, probably an interesting choice, but the Fission SV. Not a highly active piece as I think is normally the favorite item class here on this forum, but certainly the best "all encompassing" winter jacket I've ever owned. It's warm as hell, relatively light, relatively breathable, looks great, full and proper goretex shell, and reasonably durable in terms of its synthetic insulation. It's bombproof weather armor for winter and I've been obsessed with it since I purchased mine in 2019.
